Canon[]

Since Steven is a regular at the Big Donut, where Lars worked whenever he isn't at school, Steven had become accustomed to seeing Lars almost every day. However, though Steven always considered Lars a good friend, Lars had been very unsubtle about finding Steven annoying.

Season 1[]

This section is in need of major improvement. Please help improve this article by editing it. Throughout the first season, Steven's dynamic with Lars had been established since the very first episode. Lars is aware of Steven's "magic", but just like most of Beach City, he doesn't seem to care that much.

In the episode "Cat Fingers", Steven shows off his shapeshifting abilities at the Big Donut. Lars' coworker Sadie finds the finger that Steven turned into a cat adorable and tries to convince Lars to pet it, but when Lars does, the cat lashes out and bites him.

In "Bubble Buddies", Steven finds himself trapped inside a bubble shield with his crush Connie and the two roll the bubble to the Big Donut in hopes that either Lars or Sadie could help burst it. Though Sadie gives an honest effort, Lars is wasting their time teasing Steven for having a "girlfriend".

In "Tiger Millionaire", Steven taking on the titular pro-wrestling persona has Lars become his number one fan without knowing that Steven and Tiger Millionaire are the same person. However, due to Amethyst convincing Steven to go through a Heel-arc causing Steven to knock Lars' drink over after Lars asked him to sign it, Lars' adoration quickly turns to resentment and Steven realizes that he messed up when the rest of the crowd similarly turned on him. However, when Garnet and Pearl find out about Steven and Amethyst's endeavors, they actually play along to becoming the new Heels and letting themselves be defeated by Steven and Amethyst, causing Lars to shed a tear while whispering that he loves Tiger Millionaire.

In "So Many Birthdays", Steven losing control over his physical age has him enter the Big Donut as a middle-aged man, causing neither Lars nor Sadie to recognize him. As Steven realizes that he needs to feel like a kid again to return back to normal, he asks them for help getting into his "birthday suit" (meaning a costume his dad always wears for Steven's birthday). Though Lars and Sadie both take it the wrong way, Lars actually seems to find Sadie getting embarrassed by the request funny.

In "Lars and the Cool Kids", Steven sees Lars staring at a trio of older kids while he was going to eat at the local pizzeria. As Steven approaches him, Lars acts very anxious and tells Steven that those three are the "cool kids" (Buck, Sour Cream and Jenny) and that he's waiting to be noticed by them so they hopefully invite him to hang out with them. Steven naively thinks that he would just have to talk to them, approaching the three despite Lars' protests. Lars hides and worries that Steven will "ruin everything", but the Cool Kids take a shine to Steven and invite both Steven and Lars to have a joyride in Jenny's car. As they drive through the town, Lars begins to get frustrated that his attempts at acting cool failed in comparison to Steven just being himself. However, the group eventually decides to go to a lagoon called "Dead Man's Mouth" to go swimming together, but Steven recognizes the place from one of his Crystal Gem missions and tries to warn them from not going near the water, else they be consumed by magical moss. Lars nearly went along with them, but was stopped by Steven just before witnessing the Cool Kids be enveloped by the moss. As Lars is horrified, Steven explains that the moss was planted by his mother, causing Lars to snap at him for his "weird mom" tanking his chances to become one of the cool kids. Steven however gets angry for once at his mother being insulted and tells Lars that one of the few things he knows about her is that she saw the good in everything, even in "jerks" like Lars. However, Steven remembers what the Crystal Gems said about the moss: if left in the sun, it will blossom into an array of flowers. So Steven and Lars work together to load the three into Jenny's car and drive up a nearby hill. However, as the carry the three the last leg of the journey, they too start succumbing to the growing moss and collapse near the peak of the hill. As the clouds part, the moss blossoms all around them and the group regains consciousness just as they share the beautiful view of the flowers being carried all across town by the wind. Lars is thankful for Steven's help and finally accepts a high-five from him.
